2010 Pride Parade

Colorful people and pets alike joined together to celebrate the LGBT Pride Parade 2010 in St. Petersburg, FL. Among them were the Tampa Bay Derby Darlins, an pageant of their own in hot pink and black, with abundant rainbow accessories. The Darlins rolled through the streets of St. Pete, each with their eight wheels on the ground, zooming back and forth across the streets lined with parade watchers, passing out beads, leis and, derby fliers. 

The Darlins also joined forces with one of their sponsors, MyQmunity, who provided a tent for parade goers to stop by, meet the Darlins, receive free bottled water and ice pops. Also, many got branded with temporary rainbow "Q" tattoos. Fans placed tats on all different parts of their body, but all wore them with pride. A lot of fun was had by the 80,000 plus people who attended St. Pete's heat-drenched Pride parade and, while the Darlins didn't "float" down Central, they were a huge hit. What a way to roll!
